About D.S. & Durga Deep Dark Vanilla EDP
Deep Dark Vanilla EDP is made by D.S. & Durga. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Deep Dark Vanilla: day or night?
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its green side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Gisada Ambassador Intense has more depth.
Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €248, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Dolce&Gabbana Intenso and Yzy Perfume Territoire Noir.
How long Deep Dark Vanilla stays on skin
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last.
